Spring migration of seabirds on the Pacific Coast of Oregon

23 April

You get spoiled quickly in Boiler Bay. Another day of poor migration today compared to the days before yesterday. To boost morale and escape the rain for a while, a pause was done in the sea watching in order to go to nearby Depoe Bay for a coffee. We can’t help but feel like this is the calm before the storm, maybe the pressure is building up for some massive migration in the days ahead. Counting time 06:00 – 08:00 and again 09:10 – 11:10. 3774 seabirds of 31 species counted. Weather consisted of showers and overcast skies with winds from the south, about 3 m/s (7mph).

Hi Diane! Thank you for sharing the link to the blog. We’re always happy to meet new people, should someone come out to meet us Boiler Bay. Also, we would gladly share our sightings with anyone that would be interested. Regards
